It’s springtime, at least according to the calendar. As you plan for your garden this year, consider how you can use your Radio Flyer wagon … new or old!

Enlist a trusty helper: The founder of Radio Flyer, Antonio Pasin, built wagons to transport his tools around his workshop. When people were more interested in the wagons than the wood cabinets he was crafting, he knew he was on to something! Wagons are also handy in the garden, for toting everything from garden tools to dirt and plants ...even little helpers. (Radio Flyer wheelbarrows for kids are handy in the garden too!)

For the forgetful gardener: If you are looking for a low maintenance garden that doesn’t take a lot of watering, try experimenting with succulents.

Create a centerpiece for a cottage garden: Looking for a surprise element in your cottage garden that will add a bit of fun? See how this gardener added a red wagon to her lovely cottage garden where “more is more.”

Proudly display your Red, White & Blue: If you are looking for a patriotic display for the 4th of July, put together your own backyard fireworks with annual favorites in a red wagon. Don’t forget a flag! Or you can just paint a picture of one to last year-round.

Bring the garden inside: We found this adorable miniature red wagon planter made by a florist in Washington state. What a cute birthday or baby gift!
